Description
Learn how headache pain really works, how the brain and nervous system contribute to headaches, and how to alleviate and prevent future headaches.
Studies have shown that patients who understand how pain works, how the nervous system and brain collaborate to create pain, are much better off: they experience less pain, function better, have less fear and are more interested in healthy movement and exercise. Research also shows that anyone has the ability to understand the neuroscience of pain, if delivered correctly.
In the patient book Your Headache Isn't All In Your Head: Neuroscience Education for Patients with Headache Pain, Louw and Diener translate the complex neuroscience of pain using images, metaphors and non-threatening language, offering patients a healthy new perspective on headache pain. With a better understanding of what headache pain is and why they get headaches, patients will be able to take an active role in their recovery. This guide also details the many possible tools and techniques for relieving or preventing headaches.
Written by physical therapists Adriaan Louw and Ina Diener.
